IIRC, way back in ye olde days, mid-game evals were kept up to date (in theory at least) as an ongoing thing--Dodd's is placeheld still, actually--while post-game were the snarky comments. Whenever the process changed, the names just got held out of tradition, but they are now thoroughly irrelevant.

Alrighty! It's that time again. As a quick reminder, since it will likely be highly relevant here, remember to specify which kill you are voting for if voting for a character who killed multiple times this cycle, since by V4 precedent votes for different scenes are not compiled.

I think there are a few sides to it. People tend to become more invested the longer they write characters, as they better come to understand their kids' voices. There's also the feeling that winning/Endgame/whatever may be within sight. At the same time, every roll makes it more likely that your favorite kid is rolled next time, as there are fewer other characters forming a probability buffer.

Oh, and also the site just gets more attached/more likely to read as the numbers dwindle, just because things are more manageable.

THG isn't canon in SOTF. Staff meant to edit that whenever it was first mentioned and somehow never got around to it. It's largely based on timing--THG was published well after V1 in the chronology (and OOC, but that's a whole other story), and there's just no way that sort of thing would get written, much less picked up by a company/published, in light of three years' worth of basically this exact thing happening.

That said, it's definitely an interesting thing to consider as a what-if sort of thing.

To celebrate, here's a game with duo mid, featuring Revive/TP Garen. He carried us hard. Technically, Maokai was supposed to duo top with me, but he defected to play support. We basically all roamed and lane swapped constantly, and the enemy team was so confused that they let us roll all over them. Eventually we got a five for nothing and they ffed.

This is why I play with whatever stupid thing TB decides to give me as long as nobody's toxic in champ select. Games like this are my favorite.
